No Time for Comparison in These Foolish Things
Hey. It’s been a while. I am juuuuuust about over this situation. I think we are all kind of about to crack. I need to keep reminding myself not to be angry or jealous of the people I know who...
The Interview... in These Foolish Things
…or, hm. These guys need to get their shit together. After I told you guys about my sleuthing in the last entry, I sleuthed/stalked the hiring manager even more only to find out that she’s real...
Tomorrow's Interview in These Foolish Things
So…tomorrow’s interview. It’s a Zoom interview, but now the headhunter tells me it’s just going to be by phone? I don’t really understand. I guess time will tell. I will be dressed and somewh...
Today Felt Slightly Better in These Foolish Things
This morning I got up early and did my workout, took the dog for a nice early walk, came back in and finished sending my tax info to my accountant and told him that I got laid off, filled out a c...
In Brief. in These Foolish Things
I’m trying my best to keep a stiff upper lip about being laid off. I mean, we’ve all seen the writing on the wall and I’ve talked about it soooooo many times here in PB, but honestly, in the mid...
Welp. in These Foolish Things
Just got laid off.
Dishing in These Foolish Things
…or, some things I’ve learned while in self-isolation: I like to do my dishes by hand rather than do a load in the dishwasher. If I do them by hand as soon as I have finished making my meal, t...
My Roommate Hates Me Right Now in These Foolish Things
Well, I’ve done it. I’ve made the dog so mad at me she won’t even look at me. I took her on her evening walk and she was NOT into it, so I had to “yank her chain” a bit to get her to move and uu...
My Hunch** in These Foolish Things

What I'm Thinking About All of This in These Foolish Things

Why Am I Not Writing? in These Foolish Things
I don’t know! I need to, but I don’t have the words right now. I used to always, always turn to writing my feelings when times got tough or interesting or boring or whatnot. But right at this ...
Video Chat is Where it's At in These Foolish Things
I can’t believe it’s been 5 days since I’ve written. So much and so little has happened. First of all, by the end of the workday on Wednesday, our CEO let us know that those of us who work in ...
I Forgot to Tell You!* in These Foolish Things
Oh my gosh - the best part of last weekend and I forgot to tell you about it! So. Saturday morning. I was done with my nail appointment, right? And I had about an hour to blow before I needed t...
How's It Carona-ing? in These Foolish Things
How to even document this? I guess I’ll just start right here. At the end of last work week, my company announced that it would be going to a 50/50 work from home schedule. What that means is t...
More Mixed Feelings (and mini-deets) in These Foolish Things
Bluh. The thrill of mini-vacay is over and it’s back to the grind, following up on the trade show stuff and generally feeling behind on everything. And even though a very well-known publicatio...
Loved It/Hated It in These Foolish Things
Just back late last night from my trip to Florida. Started with a trade show in Orlando (surprised that they didn’t cancel as last night I talked with some folks at the airport who flew in for a...
In Da Club* in These Foolish Things
Greetings from Miami. I have so much to write about from this past week, but before I do, I just need to come on here real quick like to say I’m way, wayyyy too old for this. How I ended up in a...
Friday (yay) Ramblings in These Foolish Things
Oh my god it’s Friday and I couldn’t be happier! Though I have not a lot planned other than a haircut, brunch club, laundry and packing for Florida (biz trip with pleasure at the end!), I’m alwa...

Seeing Light... in These Foolish Things
Two things keeping me sane right now: the promise from the weatherman for sunshine later this afternoon, and making little plans for Miami. The rest is baloney. I can’t tell you the last time I...
Bleary, Foggy Weekend in These Foolish Things
Well, that weekend just clunked by. I still feel completely out of it from the flu bug that I had last week. I’m still fuzzy and blurry in my brain as well as physically. I’m finding it really...
A Shitty, Weak Moment* in These Foolish Things
Edit for cat clarification: Shitty Kitty is NOT the cat that knocked me down and tried to kill me…that was Karl’s cat, an entirely different entity (and a devil spawn). Shitty Kitty is my next ...
Fromunda the Weatha in These Foolish Things
Holy hell, I’ve been SICK AS A DOG the last few days! I have had the unofficial Killer Flu since Friday night! I say “unofficial” because I was too sick to even get myself to the doctor to get ...
